Lifestyle and Daily Shenanigans with a dash of Nerd Appreciation thrown in.
Willkommen!
Hello, there! I'm Mochizuki, a twenty-something year old Graphic & Web Design student located somewhere in America and welcome to Waiting for June a Lifestyle blog that occasionally gets a tad too personal, talks about cosmetics, and constantly the home for prattles about Bandcamp, nerd culture, and tea/coffee. To find out more about blog and the blogger, click here.
Thank you so much for visiting and reading Waiting for June! If you like what we do here and want to help support the addiction of the blogger, you should look into spoiling the blog and its creator with coffee and gifts by using the links below. Even if you don't, you're still pretty dope for visiting, reading, enjoying, et cetera.
Hello, everyone! It’s been some time, hasn’t it been? In my defence, I have no proper net at home and I’ve been currently jacking my friend’s net. Their net is absolutely dreadful when you’re not in their home, so it’s been going in and out for me. On top of that, my bloody SD card split in half, literally split in half, while I was out the other night. Not only did I lose about a month worth of blog post images (including my graze box images), the flash drive for the card is completely missing (no idea why), and I have no money to replace it. Plus, studying and working and life adding onto that makes being around here terribly slow.
Thankfully, I have a post that I have set to finish up in the near future and I have a new category to add to the blog in a week or so. So alls not too dead around here, or shouldn’t be if things go well. Anyway, that’s not the point of today’s post. In the time that I couldn’t live my internet life and was seething over my broken SD card, I decided to take my frustration out by coding and thus I made a new Blogskins freebie.
♦ N O T E S — Boop. I’m back with another skin thing. Unlike my previous skin, I actually like this one a bit more. I like making simple layouts and tend to have a bit more fun making than I do when I make more intricate and over the top layouts. Anyway, here it is: The City; a layout inspired by me missing my hometown in New York and this Ed Sheeran song (although, I do recommend this version the most).
♦ R U L E S — 「I」Do not remove the credits and do not use as a basecode. I didn’t make it basecode friendly (that was completely accidental), but customise the colours and fonts as much and as little as you wish to. ♢ 「II」Less posts is far better. I would say 2-3 posts per page looks lovely with this layout. ♢「III」Comments need to be set to Pop-Up Window. To do this: Head over to the settings section of your blog. → Select posts & comments. → Scroll down to the comments section. → Select the pop-up window option from the drop down menu under Comment Location. ♢ 「IV」Do not mess with any of the coding unless you have a good grips on HTML, CSS, and the small bit of script there in the code. ♢ 「V」I constantly come back to edit and check on my skins so feel free to leave questions in the comments as well and check back for little edits I do to the skin.
♦ P R E V I E W — Live preview here.
♦ C O D E S — To grab the code, you can get from either Blogskins or Pastebin. I recommend Blogskins, especially if you’re a member of Blogskins (then you should go over to the site and show it a little love by favouriting it/rating five stars.)
Unfortunately, that’s all for this post. I’m going to go ahead and take some mobile pictures of the graze box I got, but seeing as all the food is already eaten, I’ll have to use the pictures from the site to assist with that post. I refuse to not make that post and share my opinions of the different things that came in it. Other than that, that’s it. If you use the skin, like the skin, have a question about the skin, or just want to talk about your day, drop me a comment below (and don’t forget your link).
Until next time, darlings! ❤

Hello, there!
Welcome to Waiting for June. Waiting for June is a Lifestyle Blog that focuses predominantly on daily life shenanigans and nerd culture, but occasionally dabbles in health & beauty, food, and prattling about serious topics.
Waiting for June is the sixth iteration of the same blog with a different name and structure. The original iteration of this blog was started back in November of 2012 as a purely Beauty and Lifestyle blog under the name Monochromatics which later got abandoned and restarted under the name sumeoseo. With sumeoseo came more beauty and review based blog which quickly lost its appeal. From that point on, there were three name changes, multiple hiatuses, and two blog changes before coming to where we are now.
Throughout this journey, I've learned that this blog shouldn't be limited to what I feel fits in with what I read from other bloggers nor should I put myself in a position to compromise my integrity and the feeling of transparency that I feel should always be there. I've also learned that blogging is probably never going to be a huge source of income the way I always expected it to be. So when I finally returned back to blogging with a fresh blog and an equally fresh name, I decided to make this blog about anything that I wanted to and break the mold of trying to fit into the mold. I can only imagine where this experience is going to take me.

Hello, there!
Welcome to the little about me section of the blog. If it isn't obvious by now, I'm Mochizuki and I'm kind of pretty important here. Admittedly, Mochizuki is a nom de plume, but I digress. I'm currently somewhere in my twenty-somethings and doing that thing where I'm learning how to be a proper adult while balancing being a student and a worker. Speaking of school, I'm a Graphic Design major who's concentration is Web Design and I take my classes online. If I'm being honest here, I do everything online because of my apprehension towards too much social interaction.
I'm typically reading something, playing a video game, watching anime, or something otherwise nerdy because that's how I roll. I don't engage with people unless I'm positive there is something in common there simply because I don't want to make it weird for anyone involved. That said, the reason I originally created this blog, or rather, any of my blogging adventures, was so that I could engage with people wo share the same interests as me while simultaneously sharing my own things with people.
I'm not terribly good at about me's, so expect this to be updated sporadically in a lot of ways.
The little spots on the internet that I read to pass time.

A clear and concise guide on how reviews are approached and written.
This blog touches on and is dedicated to a variety of topics including: daily life, cosmetics, my journey to being a healthier me, music, books, anime, et cetera; however, a large chunk of the content found here are some form of review be they miniature reviews or full blown, in-depth reviews. Because of this, this blog has decided to implement and share it's review policy.
Please note that this policy is liable to change at any point in time, so do constantly check back before sending inquiries to kurahge@outlook.com.
Depending on the workload and the type of product is received, at any given time, multiple products can be in queue to be reviewed.
Depending on the product, the amount of time for a review to be posted varies. Typically, the length of time is as follows: anything health or beauty releated will take between 5 days and 1 week, books take between 3 days and 5 days, music and movie reviews take between 1 to 2 days, and most other reviews are variant depending on the situation at hand.
Products are predominantly purchased with my own money. On the off chance that the product or prodcuts were provided to me, there is always a note at the top of post and as well as text within the post that acknowledges such. Despite being provided a product or not, the opinions are honest and valid.
As of April 14th, 2016, there has been a change in how reviews are formatted. If working with a product that has a list of ingredients (health, beauty, cosmetics, etcetera), there will be a graphic that lists the ingredients out of respect and transparency for the readers.
Photos for reviews, particularly health and beauty related, are unedited and provided in a clear manner to help show what results occurred (if any.)
If at any point, a review is rushed despite being informed of and knowing the review policy of this blog, I will drop the review and pay for the product accordingly. I am a college student and a full-time worker, blogging is a bit of side project no matter how much I wish it otherwise, so my time is a bit crammed. Basically, rushing will terminate any agreement we may have unless it's valid (meaning absolutely my fault.)
